Watch what happens when a member of the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier team applies for an internship at IGN and uses his training and futuristic equipment to climb the corporate ladder.

Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace that has become an aphorism. It is popularly translated as "seize the day". Carpe literally means "to pick, pluck, pluck off, cull, crop, gather, to eat food, to serve, to want", but Ovid used the word in the sense of, "to enjoy, seize, use, make use of". Original usage -- "Don't ask what end the gods have granted to me or you, Leuconoe. Don't play with Babylonian fortune-telling either. How much better it is to endure whatever will be! Whether Jupiter has allotted to you many more winters or this final one which even now wears out the Tyrrhenian sea on the rocks placed opposite - be wise, strain the wine, and scale back your long hopes to a short period. While we speak, envious time will have {already} fled, Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future."

The 1980s were the golden age of macho action movies, and many a wooden bodybuilder who knew the right way to hold a machine gun got their acting careers made during that era. With the release of The Expendables 2 and the increase in 80s nostalgia, stars like Dolph Lundgren — who no one ever thought would make a comeback — have movie careers worth mentioning again. But in this case a rising tide didn't quite lift all the boats, and there are plenty of old-school action stars out there who are still retired or stuck in straight-to-DVD hell. Here are ten washed up action stars who wish we were still living in the Reagan era. And just in case you didn't know, Vernon Wells is Bennett from Commando and Wez, the red haired mohawk guy from Road Warrior. Who knew?

Hey again, Ernie, Just an update to my dog story. Yesterday's post about the Ozzy Foundation moved me enough to donate to them. My dog did well for a while. After the chemo was stopped, he started eating and gained weight back. A couple months later he was getting weak, and the vet started some steroids. For a few weeks, he was like a puppy again. The steroids made him very hungry all the time, but he did well. About 2 weeks ago, though, the cancer caught up to him. He was getting short-winded easily and developed a sore on his leg that got infected. It was time to relieve him of the suffering before it got bad. We took him to the vet and cried our eyes out as the vet pushed the meds into him. We will get his ashes in an urn any day now. I quote to others your advice about taking the money that would have gone to cancer treatment and use it to get a new dog or two and train them well. I plan to do that, but I still have one more dog. She's very old and getting very depressed without her constant companion of 12 years around. It probably won't be long for her either. I don't think she would do well with a puppy around, so we will wait. Take care, Sean

A souvenir, memento, keepsake or token of remembrance is an object a person acquires for the memories the owner associates with it. The term souvenir brings to mind the mass-produced kitsch that is the main commodity of souvenir and gift shops in many tourist traps around the world. But a souvenir can be any object that can be collected or purchased and transported home by the traveler. The object itself has no real significance other than the psychological connection the possessor has with the object as a symbol of past experiences. Without the owner's input, the object's meaning is invisible and cannot be articulated.

A Judas goat is a trained goat used at a slaughterhouse and in general animal herding. The Judas goat is trained to associate with sheep or cattle, leading them to a specific destination. In stockyards, a Judas goat will lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared. Judas goats are also used to lead other animals to specific pens and onto trucks. They have fallen out of use in recent times, but can still be found in various smaller slaughterhouses in the some parts of the world. The phrase was also used in World War II by the 8th Air Force, U.S. Army Air Forces B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator crew members. Each bomb group employed a war-weary bomber known as a formation, lead, or assembly ship. These aircraft were brightly painted and decorated with individual psychedelic colors in stripes, checkers, or polka dots, enabling easy recognition by their flock of bombers to form up from various airbases over England and fly strategic bombing missions over Europe.

Imagine every time you made love to your partner you were dicing with imminent death. It might make you wary of having sex ever again (if you survived, that is!) yet male praying mantises can never be sure they will survive the sex act owing to their partners' natural predatory instinct. Sexual cannibalism is a natural phenomenon whereby one organism (generally the female) eats the other (typically the male) before, during or right after sex. This amazing sequence of photographs shows a female praying mantis eating her lover – starting with this shot of Mrs Mantis munching on the male's leg.

A distribution board is a component of an electricity supply system which divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit, in a common enclosure. The circuit breakers are generally placed in two columns. Circuit breaker panelboards are always dead front, that is, the operator of the circuit breakers cannot contact live electrical parts. During servicing of the distribution board itself, though, when the cover has been removed and the cables are visible, North American breaker panelboards commonly have some live parts exposed. Breakers are usually arranged in two columns. In a US-style board, breaker positions are numbered left-to-right, along each row from top to bottom. This numbering system is universal across various competing manufacturers of breaker panels.
